I am reading a book by Thomas Keating called The Human Condition. Keating used a verse from Scripture that I am not able to find the translation version for. A website has this verse word for word except it substitutes “nought for Me” for “nothing for my sake”, but states this is from the NAB. The NAB translations I have do not say the verse in this way. Anyone know the translation?

Here’s the verse:
“He who seeks only himself brings himself to ruin, whereas he who brings himself to nothing for my sake discovers who he is.” —Matthew 10:39
 
My 1970 NAB has: He who seeks only himself brings himself to ruin, whereas he who brings himself to nought for me discovers who he is.

That makes sense, now. It is the NAB, but an older version.
Thank you.
